Getting up late on a Saturday morning, the forecast showed heavier rain and breezy conditions. I was very lazy and wondering about what I should be making for lunch. I wanted to make something simple and easy, at the same time nutritious.

I was reminded of Amma making Carrot Rice. As kids, my sister and I were not big lovers of Carrots except Carrot Halwa. I think my Amma thought she has to somehow make us eat carrots and came thru the Carrot Rice recipe in some book.

I think she must have been very excited and in the process added too much carrots than the recipe demanded. To be very honest, it was just the poriyal mixed in rice. She then made some changes to the recipe and only when we liked it, she confessed that the first one was bad.
So when I grew up to be an Amma myself, I try to make Carrot Rice for my daughter . She has it without any complaints.
